Abstract
A connector is adapted to be mounted on a board member. An insulative holder is formed with a through hole connecting a first side face and a second side face which is adapted to be opposed to the board member. The insulative holder accommodates a coiled spring in the through hole such that a first portion of the coiled spring is retractably projected from the first side face. A conductive plate member is attached to the holder. A first part of the plate member is disposed on the second side face of the holder such that a second portion of the coiled spring which is disposed within the through hole is brought into contact therewith. A second part of the plate member is disposed on the second side face separately from the first part, and adapted to receive solder for electrically connecting the coiled spring to a connection electrode provided on the board member. A third part of the plate member connects the first part and the second part while being extended on at least one side face which is other than the second side face.
